[can’t think of anything to say] Intros are for suckers… TO THE GAME!
Jacksonville/Pittsburgh:
Taking a look at this game I was reminded of an old Bart Simpson quote which goes something like, “Smashee, smashee”. Yeah, this one is gonna be a battle of physical and mental wills and no matter the outcome, both sides will suffer casualties-think in terms of Attica in early September of ’71. That’s how this one is going to go.
Injuries:
Antonio Brown is out/ready and raring to go, no question/a game-time decision-pick one. If he does throw the cleats on he’ll be staring down cb Jalen Ramsay. I love this matchup. Ramsay was thrown at only 5 times last week and was able to come up with an interception.
We Need To Talk About Blake:
Will the competent Blake or the inadequate Blake take the field today? Last week vs. the Bills he was 12/23 for 87 yards. Not so good, huh? Not so fast-he was able to offset that with 10 runs for 88 yards. Using the very latest-ish in phone calculator technology, I took a look back at his bipedal-centric shenanigans and discovered that in games where he runs 5 or more times he averages 7 yards per attempt. Interesting? Probably not but I’ll make the case that he recognizes/exploits running lanes far more than he is given credit for. I think another way to assess the fella is in terms of ‘comfort zone’. In the games where his QBR rating was over 100, (the lowest mark being 119!) his attempts/completions were 20-31, 18-26, 26-35, 18-27 and 21-29. Perhaps he’s not the game manager I thought he is but just a guy that needs to play within certain parameters in order to get the job done. Once outside those parameters though it becomes a bit of a crapshoot as to which guy shows up.
My Hot Takeaway:
I’ll be surprised if Bell and Fournette don’t combine for 50 carries between them. The thing is, [whips out suddenly trusty phone calculator again] this gives the Steelers a significant advantage. Perhaps Fournette is wearing down a bit but he’s only averaging 3 yards per rush over his last eight games. Mr. “Don’t Franchise Tag Me, Bro” Bell has averaged 4.2 in his last seven. As the carries pile up, it’ll be Pittsburgh that will more easily get up and down the field.
What are you waiting for? Get it on, bang your gong!
That was the wobbliest six-yard pass I’ve ever seen.
Jeez, are we turning the corner to, “Is Blake Bortles an elite quarterback?”?
No. Never.
better question
Who is more elite Blake Borltes or Joe Flacco?
Yes.
This post aged well.
WOO!!!!
Will Haley ever be a H.C. again?
(Oh God….don’t do it ARI!)
shitty retread coaches are like crack to nfl teams…yes.
That’s too bad.
WHY IS BORT THROWING
So Jacksonville is basically running one man routes?
Nice Rex impression there, Blake.
Bossman Todd gonna get fucked up at Primanti’s tonight WOOOO WOOO
I’m still laughing at the fact he made news for his behavior at a place called “Tequila Cowboy.” It’s so perfectly Todd Haley.
Remember this when coaches and experts on NFL Live and NFL Network tell us dumb fans we don’t “get the game.”
somebody’s gonna give that Haley asshole a HC job, too
“Weirdest squid I’ve seen!”
-Sir Whatever Attenborough
Todd Haley has a QB the size of a house and will NEVER QB SNEAK on 4th and inches.
bahahahaha
And the Ben loves to force himself into holes.
And a concussion-proof QB at that, so no risk in using him.. Seriously,tho – if Big Ben gets dinged, how does he FAIL a concussion protocol? He gets a quick IQ test and gains double digits?
he says something respectful about women?
You owe me like a finger of triple sec for that one XD
“3rd and inches? Power run up the middle? FUCK THAT SHIT! DEEP CROSSER!”
I hope that Bell shanks Haley after this game is over.
You have Bell, yet you do not use him.
Remember; THE STEELERS FIRED BRUCE ARIANS SO THEY COULD HIRE TODD HALEY.
In what universe was that a good call?
Andy Reid’s?
Jesus Christ. I don’t have access to the game. How the fuck is Jax ahead when Bartles and James is (squints at box score) 9/20?!?!?!?!? with 96 yds and no big rushers????? Da Fuq is happening
Essentially 2 defensing scores.
Evil heart status? WARMER!
/I giggled
WTF Haley. No Camaro for you!
woot woot
TODD HALEY, STILL A DUMBASS.
Wheels spin….
How did the officials not jump at the chance to throw the flag there?
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
They weren’t expecting a pass either
That’s some quality outsmarting yourself, Todd.
when you fuckup 4th and a foot obviously, better double down next time so nobody notices!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA
Calais Campbell is such an asset. He’s got solid experience, is a physical freak. great locker room guy, and can make plays. Great add by JAX.
Why did Zona let him go?
He was looking for a big contract and was coming off a couple years where he just wasn’t breaking through. Not playing consistently to his potential kinda had him in BA’s doghouse. Which was a great person to appease since he retired 16 games later.
great locker room guy
But not a lunch pail type guy right
“SHORT!”

“Hey!”

God damn lol
Go for it, but don’t do stupid shit this time.
Uh…..
WHAT DID I JUST FUCKING SAY???????
Dear Todd; Big Ben is 6’5 TRY A FUCKING SNEAK YOU DUMB ASS
They’re gonna pass.
He is worried about getting trim later.
Too obvious.
here’s the ballgame, 4th and a foot.
Cue Barry Switzer
That is the Doug Marrone from Syracuse that I remember.
Playoff experience matters.
Yep. So does fatigue. Jax D is in big trouble now.
Especially in the AFC, where it’s Brady/The Ben/Manning every year in the title game.
That’s it. Nap time.
womp womp
Game.
Oh for fuck’s sake.
#DarkestTimeline
No call on the clear late hit on Westbrook…
Bort cannot throw further than 7 yards, and these receivers cannot get properly open.
Here it comes boys.
OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!
I’m shocked that the Cottage Cheese company couldn’t afford the copyright fees to play “Take on Me” for their commercial.
Who just has $20 lying around these days?
Jags sitting at 76% win probability folks!
Man if I could get a 3:1 payout on the Steelers I’d take that in a heartbeat.
why the Jeebus Tittyfuck do they insist on rolling Horny Fourny out there? He’s cooked. Yeldon is a good player.
When healthy Fournette is better but I agree he has to a liability with the injury
No matter the results of this season The Jags have to know that Bortles is wasting this defense.
Cousins or Elisha would make this team elite.
I was thinking Alex Smith. Eli isn’t going anywhere. Cap hit is too severe
what is Los Gigantes’ hit if they cut him?
Cut or trade it accelerates to $12.4 million. Which is why they should take Saquon Barkely and see what they have in Webb.
they refuse to let bort throw further than 7 yards
I mean last week’s game film was depressing
KEEP YELDON in the fucking game.
Oh hey, I joined late, did Shazier stand for the anthem?
Wow.
#UppityCripple
Well played
Tomi Lahren ripped him for sitting
#NotCoolBro Imagine being so badly injured that you can’t even escape Yinzburgh?!
Dear Nationwide, if we wanted to see Peyton Manning on our TV’s, we’d just dig out his rotting corpse ourselves!
Bring back those commercial where Manning gave advice about life. Those were good!

i recognized 0 of those “artists”
Love half these artists at The Grammy’s I’ve never heard of.
Half?
“Artists”? I accidentally got stuck on MTV Live during the X-mas break, those fuckers can’t sing live at all… jeeebus…
I’ve heard of Cardy B via a meme only.
Brave New World.
Who?
A bad female rapper that thinks she’s Lil Kim. Not a fan
The implication being that Lil Kim is a good female rapper?
If pop(and rap) have taken a similar nosedive in quality as rock? Yeah, she’s way better XD
Didnt she bang some dude who banged some other broad or something?
I really like the Sonic commercial guys.
It looks like we found him guys, the worst person on Earth.
Nah…the line forms behind me.
But I hate those Sonic turds so maybe I’m improving.
Damn really? I’d have expected everyone to feel the same way as me
Crazy. And I don’t think Sonic is too bad either.
That’s a good way to find yourself in an intervention.
I call them “Puffy Goodell and Giant Head Seinfeld”
I approve of this opinion. Those guys are hilarious.
The streak…. is over?
